It is incredibly frustrating when directors and screenwriters conspire to completely mess up the timelines of their own movies, leading to questions like "how exactly did Iran Man just get to Siberia in a matter of seconds from Germany?"

When Cap and Bucky follow Zemo to Siberia they say that the villain has probably been at the facility for a "couple of hours", while their own journey there has clearly taken a long time because Tony Stark has time to visit The Raft prison and talk to the other Avengers. And yet, literally minutes after Cap and Bucky arrive at the compound in the snow, they are startled by the noise of Iron Man making his own entrance.

So we're supposed to believe that it took Iron Man a tiny fraction of time get to Siberia? It's like the whole "he got back into Gotham because he's Batman" garbage again.
